Embassy Row Lyrics - Brighten The Corners - Pavement

Old intuition on your dock we're fishin' 

Come on now, give us a grade 

A for effort and B for delivery 

C for devotion when the world starts encroachin' on your plans 

(Papapapapa) 

Where is the savoir? Where is the savoir? 

(Papapapapa) 

(Papapapapa) 

He's not here right now 

(Pa pa pa pa) 

(Papapapapa) 

(Papapapapa) 

Where is the savoir? Where is the savoir faire? 

(Papapapapa) 

(Papapapapa) 

Embassy row the fumes they lay low 

On lanes that are wide where the limousines glide 

On the wrought iron gates and the bone China plates 

And don't forget your manners where the anthems play 

In a netherworld of foreign feeds 

In a netherworld of foreign feeds 

In a netherworld of foreign feeds 

I'm gonna take the crown, I'm gonna take the crown 

I'm gonna take the crown, I'm gonna take a crown 

Maids, they are frisked and asses are kissed 

I needed a visa, I bought off a geezer 

Political favors could make you a savior 

In an open corner where the news is read 

In a netherworld of foreign feeds 

In a netherworld of foreign feeds 

In a netherworld of foreign feeds 

I'm gonna take the crown, I'm gonna take the crown 

I'm gonna take a crown, I'm gonna take a crown 

I need to get born, I need to get dead 

I'm sick of the forms, I'm sick of being misread 

By men in dashikis and their lefist weeklies 

Colonized wrath their shinin' new path 

The converted castle of moorish design 

If you want to stay the weekend, well, we wouldn't mind 

The plots they are hatchin', the surface is scratchin' 

In an open corner where the news is read 

In a netherland of foreign beads 

In a netherland of foreign beads 

In a netherland of foreign beads 

I'm gonna take you down, I'm gonna take the crown 

I'm gonna take the crown, I'm gonna take the crown 

I'm gonna take the crown, I'm gonna take the crown 

I'm gonna take the crown, I'm gonna take the crown 

Yee eaa
